yeah i realize that i would never get the exact layout...but just something to get an idea of how these huge corporations are set up in general. I was just hung up on the idea that the internal dns worked with the external and what a mess that would be for security and what not. I also was...

Do you think its safe to say that name servers are only that....nameservers? I know that when you set up a local Domain Controller, with active directory you have to install DNS to manage the internal zones...they wouldnt have that server as one of the DNS servers controlling the external...

So can you lay the steps out for me 1 by 1? Im confused on what I should do first and what the names of the local and domain groups should be. Do I need to disconnect from the domain and log on a s local administrator before I add the domain group to the local admin group?

Will this allow them to add and remove programs? So basically what your saying is, create a domain group on the server, temporarily add the users to the group...and on the actual workstation itself, Login as an administrator and under computer management, add the name of the domain group I...

Would it be possible to have the DC at the local office and have another server at the remote office, and have the remote server and DC communicate to each other? However, I still have the problem about DHCP. What about this as a solution. I have 2 VPN Gateways, neither broadcasting DHCP...

Well, im wondering if this would even be possible....maybe you experts can help give me some insight. I have 2 offices, one that has a server and computers attached. There is a firewall and gateway VPN connected to a static ip. The other office has computers connected to a gateway VPN which...

Im trying to figure out the best method of backing up and restoring data on my server and I'm not sure I quite understand the ASR util. From what I read, the ASR util should be able to recover the drive to its original state when the backup was created. What is the difference between...
